On-site Nitrogen: Reliable, Compact & Green Solution

Our compact generators are easy to manage and require minimal maintenance. Plus, they boast a smaller footprint and quiet and easy operation, perfect for your production floor.

Generate your own nitrogen with compressed air

On-site nitrogen generation plays an important role in many industries and operations including oil & gas, electronics, food and beverage packaging, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, laser cutting, wastewater treatment.

 

While buying or leasing nitrogen is always an option, the costs quickly add up. When it comes to cost saving, total cost of ownership, employee safety and environmental benefits as well as impact, onsite nitrogen generation makes a strong case. Moreover, with onsite nitrogen generation you have complete control over the purity, pressure and amount of nitrogen you generate for a given application. 

Onsite nitrogen generators can make use of either:

 

PSA Technology

  • Produces high-purity nitrogen (up to 99.999%) at high flow rates (1100 Nm³/h).
  • Ideal for electronics, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
  • Uses two towers for continuous nitrogen production.

Membrane Technology

  • Creates nitrogen with purity levels of 95-99.5% (adjustable) and flow up to 500 m³/h.
  • Suitable for fire prevention, plastic molding, and food preservation.
  • Offers compact size, low maintenance, and low energy consumption.
